I should have known better...
I never cared much for their music. Growing up in Argentina where the Beatles were huge, we all cared little for their music, which was stuck in the Beatles' very early pop years (as early as 1965, they have already turned into a top adult band, with jewels like Yesterday and In My Life, so the Monkees were born already obsolete). But as I had never watched the show, I decided to watch one episode ("Monkees On The Line") in Youtube.Huge, huge mistake.
The thing is not as bad as I had assumed: it is worse. The canned laughter, the fake youth exhuberance, the jokes as old as dust, the truly dumb guys pretending to play a dumb guy... it's not that I can't enjoy 60s American TV; some things are more than watchable. But certainly not this one.
